Recovery from disordered eating and body image issues is often solely focused on behaviour change. Rarely are clinicians informed about the “nuances” of recovery, such as the important stage of body forgiveness and how this presents along the recovery path. Body forgiveness helps our clients develop a relationship with their body through increasing embodiment, decreasing objectification and body shame, and increasing internal forgiveness, self-compassion and self-care and positive body image.
PESI Australia, in collaboration with PESI in the USA, offers quality online continuing professional development events from the leaders in the field at a standard recognized by professional associations including psychology, social work, occupational therapy, alcohol and drug professionals, counselling and psychotherapy. On completion of the training, a Professional Development Certificate is issued after the individual has answered and submitted a quiz and course evaluation. This program is worth 1.25 hours CPD for points calculation by your association.
